Deliciously ridiculous. For lovers of Jane Austen as well as Walking Dead. Don't expect high cinema, just enjoy the ride.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies improves on Austen's original novel by raising the stakes of romance. Previous versions confine Darcy and Lizzie to verbal sparring, but director Burr Steer layers effete language of 19th century courtship with swordplay, allowing some of literature's most famous lovers to prove themselves equals.

Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, regardless of its antagonist, is really an answer to the question "What if Jane Austen wrote action movies?", not only changing the story to accommodate some world-building and zombie attacks, but also staging bantery arguments as physical fights. It's really where Austen's witty dialog has been retained that the movie shines, while the zombie-slayer angle more often than not seems to awkwardly fit, so one may well ask, why not just make/watch a straight P&P adaptation. Well, the world isn't without interest, recasting England's noble houses as those not infected with the zombie plague, and thus explaining the need for "worthy" marriages, etc. And of course, while on the one hand I couldn't get through the more recent P&P film adaptation on account of my movie kryptonite, Keira Knightly, no one should deprive themselves of Matt Smith's delightfully Doctorish Parson Collins

Very witty, it's more than just a classic story with zombies tacked on. It's truly amazing how well the zombie plotline works into the original story with dialogue and the original themes. Quite a bit of action, but I think they still held back in order for the movie to be taken more seriously. Should've gone all out, I think.

Interesting story and idea, pretty funny, good effects, but somewhat somewhat slow. Nice photo. After the book with the same name. Had hoped for some great end battle, however, SPOILER, which is hinted in the caption in a possible part two ... as usual nowadays.
